GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS WITH VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Prepare marinade. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and mix until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add the cut pieces of chicken, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion to the marinade. Stir gently to coat all of the chicken and vegetables with marinade. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
- Preheat grill. Heat the grill to 400 degrees F for direct grilling.
- Assemble the kabobs. While the grill preheats, assemble your kabobs. This process takes about 15 minutes. Skewer on your chicken, squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions onto the kabobs in a pattern. Repeat until all of the chicken and vegetable pieces have been secured on the sticks. Season on all sides with a light sprinkle of additional salt and pepper before grilling, if desired.
- Grill the chicken kabobs. Place the kabobs directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes before opening the lid and rotating the skewers. Close the lid and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes. Open, check the temperature of the kabobs, and if the internal temperature of the chicken hasn't reached 165 degrees F, rotate them once again, close the lid, and cook until they hit the target temperature.
- Rest and serve. Remove the finished kabobs from the grill and rest for only 1-2 minutes before serving. The pieces are so small, they don't need to rest much longer than this and you want to serve them hot.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the chicken strips and saute until chicken is just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the strips. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the julienned vegetables and cook until crisp tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and then add the fresh ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the honey and chicken stock and let the sauce reduce slightly. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
- When the sauce has thickened, return the chicken and vegetables to the skillet and cook until just heated through. To serve, arrange the fried noodles as a base on each plate. Spoon the chicken, vegetables, and sauce over the noodles. Garnish with the cilantro, mint, and pickled ginger.
